Eating disorder checklist
By all means go on a controlled weight loss diet if you are overweight or obese. But don’t let it become an obsession. One of the most dangerous aspects of eating disorders is that the sufferer is likely to deny strenuously to everyone, often themselves included, that they have a problem. Take a practical approach. If you suspect that you or someone you know might be on the slippery slope to an eating disorder, look at the list of warning signs below. There is help available from the medical profession, charities and self-help groups.
